So I don't have much of an update... Still finishing up my curriculum guide with editing and fine tuning. This week is more focused towards preparing for the summer camps as it is getting very close to when they will begin. 

 I'm getting more comfortable with the Museum and the exhibits there. I want to learn as much as I can now so that when I'm surrounded by little kids and chaos I am as best prepared as I can be, though I know it's impossible to be prepared for everything.

 This Sunday I am going to help with the junior volunteer orientation, probably helping Amanda with her session on how to engage children. I'm looking forward to being able to meet some of the junior volunteers. 

 Nothing really else to report as of late, it's been kind of a slow week so far. Everyone have a good Memorial Day weekend?

 Side note- new animal fun fact from my curriculum guide I'm writing- the Blue Whale is the largest animal in the world at 400,000 lbs. Its heart can weigh as much as a car, and its tongue can weigh as much as an elephant.

    Little kids aren't chaos, Beth! They're so much fun! Working with camps can get hectic but kids are hilarious and always have the funniest things to say. Even though it is a slow week now I bet you'll have a lot to do once camp starts, so enjoy it while it lasts! My Memorial Day weekend was alright, didn't do anything aside from relax at home, hope yours was good! Thanks for the fun fact, you should include one in every post! I'll see you in class tomorrow, I know you missed me ;)

    That's funny what you said about never being prepared for everything... I know how that is! I studied all the worksheets with information for the aquarium I'm interning at, but I found out today that I needed to memorize radio codes. Turns out we have a "bodily fluid in tank" code.... I was quizzed on it, too! Pretty disgusting.

    Hey Beth! Once camp starts up it'll be smoother, if a bit more stressful.
    Regardless, I'm glad you're getting more comfortable with the museum. It is a really fun place to work!
